Last year at this time I was able to report that the Season Six Miss American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks, made her debut on the Billboard albums chart with first week sales of 119,000 copies. She has gone on to have huge success with three singles from that album with Tattoo being the first to go Top 10. Her Duet with Chris Brown, No Air, was the biggest hit spending many weeks in the top 5 and she followed that up with One Step At A Time that is still getting top 20 airplay. The Season Six Miss American Idol 1st Runner Up, Blake Lewis, had first week sales of 98,000 for his album and it, sadly, went down hill from there. The album Audio Day Dream went completely unappreciated this year and had no hit singles off of it.
Last week I shared the news that the Season Seven Miss American Idol 1st Runner Up, David Archuleta, made his strong debut on the album chart with first week sales of 183,000 to land at #2. This week he drops down to #11 on the album chart while his single, Crush, continues to hold steady with top 20 airplay and sales figures.
This week the numbers are finally in for the first week sales of Season Seven Miss American Idol winner, David Cook. Even though he comes in one position behind David Archuleta's debut at #3, David Cook sold about 100,000 copies more to have a total of 280,000. These solid numbers should translate into some more sales and airplay action for his single, Light On, that is still no where to be found in the top 50 on the Billboard HOT 100 singles chart.
